Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

"Alright, Zhuang, that's enough. You don't need to stay here anymore. Take a rest for a while, thank you!" An Xiaohai said, patting Pan Zhuangzhuang on the shoulder.

"Rest? I feel like I've been resting all along. Sitting here daydreaming every day is actually quite nice. I don't want to leave, haha!"

"You rascal..." An Xiaohai laughed and lightly punched Pan Zhuangzhuang.

"Hai, I'm not lying to you, I'm telling the truth! This whole time, I feel like I'm dreaming... no, I never even dared to dream like this before!"

We're dealing with a bunch of big drug lords, real drug lords! Not the kind you see in the movies!

I thought we were doomed this time, and that we would die a terrible death. But who would have thought that we would cause these drug lords so much trouble!

This feeling is amazing! Wow!

I don't even know how to describe it! This is so much more fun than selling electronic components in Guoqiang South! It's so exciting! Hehe!

Pan Zhuangzhuang smiled broadly, his face slightly flushed. An Xiaohai knew this guy too well; judging from his expression, he knew he was telling the truth.

"I don't want to rest, I really don't want to rest. Why don't you give me some more tasks? If you make me go back to work, I think I'll go crazy!"

……

"Oh, in that case, I'll give you another task, but it's very dangerous..."

"I'm not afraid of danger, really! And you wouldn't actually make me do the most dangerous things; you've already taken on the most dangerous ones yourself."

"The danger I'm referring to isn't your life; I'm afraid you'll become addicted and unable to break free..."

"Oh, okay? Tell me what it is first. You're not suggesting I do drugs, are you?"

"How is that possible?! However, the addictiveness of this is no less than that of drug addiction!"

"Gambling, I want you to become addicted to gambling within half a month and lose tens of thousands of dollars."

"Ah..." Pan Zhuangzhuang was dumbfounded. He never expected that the dangerous mission An Xiaohai mentioned would be this.

"Zhuang, don't underestimate this matter, and you must think it through carefully. Once you become addicted to gambling, it's no easier to quit than drug addiction. So this mission is extremely dangerous, and you must consider it thoroughly."

"Hai, if I don't do this task, who are you planning to ask to do it?"

"I'm planning to hire a petty thug, or maybe I'll do it myself."

"Then I'll do it. Tell me what to do."

"Won't you reconsider?"

"I've thought it through."

"It's very dangerous."

"I don't think it's that dangerous. I'm not actually going to gamble; I'm going to lose money. That's completely different from actually getting addicted to gambling. You're just trying to scare me."

"Okay, that works, but if you feel like you're getting really addicted, you must tell me, and I'll end your mission immediately."

"Don't worry, I know what's important. Tell me quickly, how exactly do I do it?"

"Okay, then I'll explain it to you in detail..."

An Xiaohai and Pan Zhuangzhuang talked for two whole hours, going over every detail repeatedly before An Xiaohai finally left the small cave.

An Xiaohai had originally intended to take Pan Zhuangzhuang back with him, but the guy absolutely refused to leave, saying it would be more comfortable to spend the night there. An Xiaohai had no choice but to leave on his own.

After walking a distance, the outline of the marine environmental observation center came into view.

The familiar cape, the familiar sea; the familiar beach, the familiar wind, but this marine environmental observation center was so unfamiliar that it gave An Xiaohai a feeling of the world having changed!

It was already past midnight when An Xiaohai got home. He lay on the bed with his eyes wide open.

I'm having trouble sleeping again!

This feeling is really unpleasant!

In another timeline, An Xiaohai often suffers from insomnia due to pain, but at this moment, his insomnia is due to his brain being overworked.

The increasingly bizarre world and the increasingly complex situation gradually made An Xiaohai feel somewhat overwhelmed.

After an unknown amount of time, An Xiaohai finally drifted off to sleep, but he was woken up by a phone call just as he was falling asleep.

"Hello, who is this?" An Xiaohai answered the phone with his eyes closed, too lazy to open them to look at the caller ID, his head throbbing with pain!

"Mr. Chen, it's me! It's me, Mrs. Li. Thank you so much! You're our savior!..."

On the other end of the phone, Li Chenghang's wife was so excited that she was almost incoherent.

An Xiaohai listened for a while before he understood. It turned out that their window of opportunity had been resolved, and they had already arrived at Springfield Port, waiting for their ship to enter the port and unload its cargo.

An Xiaohai quickly adjusted his state and swiftly switched into Chen Maogan's identity, pretending to be polite to Mrs. Li.

After politely declining the overly enthusiastic invitation from Li Chenghang and his wife, he finally hung up the phone.

An Xiaohai was also surprised. He didn't expect that Captain Zhou was really capable and managed to get this matter resolved during such a tense period.

Since Captain Zhou is so helpful, we should definitely thank him. Let's make a phone call first.

An Xiaohai gritted his teeth, grinned, and dialed Zhou Meng's number.

"You little rascal! You got the news pretty fast! The ship hasn't even entered the harbor yet, and you've already received it. Not bad, you've got some skills!"

"Team Leader Zhou is truly amazing! I'm completely impressed this time. Thank you so much!"

"You just want to make a phone call to say thank you? Sure enough! You act like I'm some kind of superior! Tsk tsk!"

"Of course it can't be that simple. I'll definitely have to pay a visit to express my gratitude. I'm just making a phone call to express my thanks first! I wonder if Captain Zhou is free tonight?"

"Forget it! No need for you to come and thank me, you little brat! If you come and thank me, the nature of the matter will change!"

I'm warning you, brat, this is a one-time thing, and it's not going to happen again! If there's a next time, you'll see what happens!

You guys got lucky this time. With such a big battle these past two days, I just happened to have a reason to ask for a window. You won't be so lucky next time!

"I'm hanging up now, no more nonsense, I'm busy!"

Zhou Meng hung up the phone after speaking.

An Xiaohai also breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was resolved satisfactorily, completing both 073's mission and making the character of Chen Maogan more three-dimensional and vivid.

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaohai drifted off to sleep again, and when he woke up again it was already afternoon.

Since Chen Shuifen went to work in Xiadong Brigade, her home has become much quieter. Sometimes, Chen Shuifen is so busy that she is not home for a day or two, and she sleeps with Chen Xiru in the dormitory assigned to her there.

However, Chen Shuifen and Chen Xiru were both in good spirits and seemed quite satisfied with their jobs, which reassured An Xiaohai.

Thinking of Chen Shuifen and Xiadong Brigade, An Xiaohai couldn't help but think of Yan Hong. As if by telepathy, Yan Hong's call came right away.

"What are Captain Yan's instructions?"

"What instructions? I've got some interesting information about Zhang Kun. Should I have someone send it to you?"

"So fast?" An Xiaohai was startled. Yan Hong's efficiency was too high!

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll come and get it myself. I can also visit my mom and the others on the way."

"Okay, then come and get it. But I won't be there today. Just go find Xiao Li. When are you coming? I'll tell him to wait for you at the camp entrance."

"I'll be there now, it'll take about 20 minutes."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, An Xiaohai quickly tidied up and went out. Twenty minutes later, he arrived at the Xiadong Brigade camp on time.

Xiao Li was already waiting there. They had drunk and eaten barbecue together at the beach last time, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Xiao Li first led An Xiaohai to Yan Hong's office to get the documents, and then took him to see Chen Shuifen and Chen Xiru. Under Yan Hong's care, Chen Shuifen and Chen Xiru were assigned very easy tasks. An Xiaohai chatted with them for a while before leaving.

As soon as he stepped out of the camp, An Xiaohai opened the documents and began to read them, his brows furrowing more and more as he read.

After a while, An Xiaohai put down the documents, opened the car door, faced the sea in silence for a long time, and then sighed and returned to the car.

Kunji's mother has long since passed away; her death was tragic!

The police officer in charge of investigating the abandoned baby case was very responsible. He had actually found Kunji's mother long ago, but this kind-hearted police officer chose to keep it a secret until Yan Hong found him after he retired, at which point he told the truth.

An Xiaohai really didn't know how to tell Kunji.

"Forget it... let's put this matter aside for now. It's been so many years already, there's no rush..."

An Xiaohai frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then took out his phone to call Ah Huo.

Now that the surveillance equipment and miniature cameras are ready, it's time to let Ah Limp in. The sooner he gets in, the better prepared he can be, and the better prepared he is, the sooner Liu Ming can be dealt with.

For something like this, we can only ask Ah Huo for help.
